(In my sig-pic I am wearing a bullet proof vest under my jacket) | Blackwater nice! $$  Your line of work sounds pretty good to me.
How would one go about getting into a field such as the security for people and assets? I'd love to get into the field of private security, but am not real sure how or where to break into it. Any suggestions? I'm currently getting my Associates in Criminal Justice now, and a US Marine so i'd like to think my resume would be decent for the job. Knowing companies these days though they all want a 4 year degree and experience. |

Here's a link to their website application: http://www.blackwaterusa.com/company...plication.html
The more you can fill out the better with no gaps. PM me and we can talk,there's a lot of info that isn't suitable for an open forum. |

Slug: UPS probably is the best way to prepare for military service. Intense physical work coupled with a hopeless bureaucracy. I actually lost 70lbs in the first couple months, good stuff. I had a bunch of friends who recently left the military. All of them said UPS was harder, I think we get paid less too! Last edited by Tavel; December 23rd, 2008 at 01:19 PM.
